The Coming Messiah was Prophesied hundreds of years before He arrived.

To just fulfill 8 prophecies concerning Christ you must begin by multiplying all these probabilities together which produces a number (rounded off) of 1×10²⁸. Dividing this number by an estimate of the number of people who have lived since the time of these prophecies (88 billion) produces a probability of all 8 prophecies being fulfilled accidentally in the life of one person. That probability is 1 in 10¹⁷ or 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000. That’s one in one hundred quadrillion!

Now imagine the probability of Christ fulfilling over 360 of those prophecies!!! It is beyond calculation, and all these prophecies were made at least four hundred years before He was born. The following chart reveals the original prophecy in the old testament, and their fulfillment in the New Testament

Breasted’s Sothic Dating

Breasted’s Sothic Rate (1 Day Every 4 Years)

Egypt did not adjust its 365-Day Calendar for Leap Year once every four years. Thus, Sirius’ annual heliacal rising (just before dawn) shifted one day every four years on Egypt’s 365-day calendar.

Breasted’s Sothic Cycle (1460 Years)

The Amount of Time it Takes for New Year’s Day to Shift 365 Days on Egypt’s 365-Day Calendar and To Coincide with Sirius’ Rising at the Rate of One Day Every Four Years: (365 X 4.0 = 1460).

Sirius’ Rising on 8-16 of Sesostris III’s 7th year

Sirius’ rising on 8-16 is a 225-day shift from 1-1 on Egypt’s 365-Day Calendar. 225 Days X 4 = 900 years

Sirius rose on 1-1 in 2780 B.C. – 900 years = 1880 B.C.

Sirius’ Rising on 11-9 of Amenhotep I’s 9 Year

Sirius rising on 11-9 is a 83-day shift from 8-16 83 X 4 = 332 years

1880 B.C. – 332 years = 1548 B.C.
